Ben-Perets, Diana Ester ; Sládková, Petra (advisor) ; Svěcená, Kateřina (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with mapping the influence of the Mediterranean (kosher) diet and the traditional Czech diet on the occurrence of colorectal cancer. The aim of the study was to identify differences between the eating habits of Israelis and Czechs and to assess their potential impact on the development of this type of cancer. The methodology included an analysis of the eating habits of both groups, epidemiological data and a literature review of relevant studies. The results of the study indicate that there are differences between the eating habits of Israelis and Czechs, with the Israeli diet, although influenced by westernization, showing positive tendencies compared to the traditional Czech diet. This observed difference may play a key role in the prevention of colorectal cancer. Despite the fact that Israelis are not strictly limited to the Mediterranean diet, the study highlights its positive effect on reducing the risk of this disease. On the contrary, the negative contribution of the traditional Czech diet underlines the need to improve eating habits in the Czech population. This work contributes to the literature regarding the influence of diet on health and offers a comprehensive view of the differences between the Mediterranean and Czech diets in relation to colorectal cancer....

Mediterranean diet and prevention of diseases.
Vlasopoulou, Anastasia ; Hronek, Miloslav (advisor) ; Kovařík, Miroslav (referee)
The Mediterranean diet (MD) is a well-known worldwide diet and is followed by many people. The fundamental reason is that the actual ingredients and the quantity of them used in this diet have been shown to help in the prevention of diseases. Everyday consumption of olive oil, vegetables, fruits, and whole grains, combined with the frequent intake of fish, dairy products, and controlled consumption of red meat and eggs have been associated with a substantial decrease in the incidence of many cardiovascular diseases (CVD). This has also been proven by either each component consumed acting individually or all the ingredients acting together, complimenting each other's influence. The MD seems to have occupied the scientific community a lot since it is proposed as the primary prevention against various diseases, especially heart diseases and their risk factors, such as diabetes mellitus (DM), atherosclerosis, obesity, and dyslipidemia. This paper (DT) analyzes the different types of food included in the Mediterranean pyramid, their effects on health, and the evidence that confirms the above assumption.
